Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 447 The Stage of Storms ([-])
The winter night came early, even though it was only three o'clock, but the sky was already dark, the snow was heavy, and the roaring north wind swept everything between heaven and earth with snowflakes engulfing it.There was no light in Fengnuan Pavilion, and two charcoal basins that were burning vigorously gave off a dark red light in the corner. Cao Xiandong, wearing a light blue lynx leather jacket and a silver fox scarf around his neck, sat quietly on the chair in front of the window On the bed, looking out the window silently, the whole person is as petrified, even the occasional snowdrops falling on his face through the window can't wake him up from his contemplation.

"Sir, what's going on?" Hongli, who sat silently with Cao Xiandong for a long time, couldn't bear to ask finally.

"It's about to start." Cao Xiandong didn't turn his head, but said softly.

"Start? Are you talking about the rectification of the bureaucracy, or the competition between Ben Baylor and the second child?" Hongli was stunned for a moment, and asked with a hint of doubt.

Cao Xiandong was silent for a while, then slowly turned around, his eyes were shining brightly in the darkness of the pavilion, he stared at Hongli and said: "Brother only sees this?"

Hongli pursed his lower lips, and said with a smile: "Huang Ama's actions are always miraculous and unconstrained, very predictable, sir, I can't see what else is there besides these two? Could it be possible to be an emperor?" Ma intends to do something to Uncle Si?"

Cao Xiandong smiled wryly and shook his head, saying: "Brother, where are you thinking? Alas, since you are still the eldest son of the Holy Majesty, but you are so slow to the Holy Majesty, I really don't know what to say about you, think about it. Looking at what you have done since then, and looking at Er Ye's errand, what do you think of?"

"Huh? Sir, what you mean is..." Hongli's eyes lit up, and he said with difficulty.

"That's right, the master's layout always seems random, but in fact, every step of the way is mysterious. Today, he is definitely a master among the masters. The chess pieces he laid out are so deep that they are amazing. It is really not wrong for those men to lose at the hands of the Holy Master back then." "Cao Xiandong sighed and said: "I have great ambitions today, and what I see in my eyes is not only limited to the Qing Dynasty, but also those barbarians who did not go beyond the calculation of the Holy One. This alone is not the same as those men back then What can be compared. Hey, when I was five years old, I made a "Fuyuan Ji", which was the first chess move of Shengxia. , Firearms Battalion, etc. are just a continuation of the first move. Now that the post office, newspapers and other new things have been introduced one by one, the time is ripe, and the Holy One is about to start his grand plan. Hehe, rich country and strong people, Such a grand goal is beyond imagination, amazing, amazing!"

Hongli's eyes flashed brightly, and he said with a smile: "Huang Ama has always had the ambition to open up territories, and it is no secret that sooner or later he will fight abroad. Hehe, the Ministry of Industry still has many secret weapons. I can't hide it from Ben Baylor's eyes, but, um, it's just that it's not a good sign that Huang Ama handed over the Ministry of Industry to the second child, and I seem to have fallen behind, what should the current situation be like?"

"That's not necessarily the case." Cao Xiandong smiled and said, "Your Majesty regards the world as a chess game and plays it freely. The rest are just chess pieces, but chess pieces also have the fun of chess pieces. Hehe, now the game is like a stage. The stage is dedicated to the performance of the elder brother and the second master. Whoever can sing this play well will have the last laugh. Well, it can be said that the Holy One has made up his mind. The battle between the two masters will determine the outcome!"

The smile on Hongli's face disappeared, and he looked at Cao Xiandong seriously for a while, heaved a sigh of relief, calmed down and said: "The two things of clearing debts and distributing the money to the mother are actually for the sake of clearing up officials. Ben Baylor can still understand this one. It would be fine if I did it alone. Now that there is still a fourth uncle around, things may change a bit. Hey, the second child works in the Ministry of Industry. , Those are all ready-made things, and there is no need to spend any effort, so I am afraid that this scene will not be easy to perform."

Cao Xiandong said calmly: "The Ministry of Industry has difficulties. It is not easy to sort out useful things from the vast mountains of materials in the Ministry of Industry, and it is not so easy to promote those things. , the second master also has his difficulties. As for Prince Yong, hehe, it seems that he wants to be a good king first, and then wait for the opportunity. The fourth master is kind and forbearing, he will not give up easily. Can't hide it today. Fourth master will not let go of this opportunity to rectify the officialdom. Well, at least he won't be against you, big brother. Now big brother doesn't have to worry about other things, just calm down and think about it Finish the matter assigned by the Holy Majesty first, and the other Holy Majesty will think about it, so you might as well go to Si Ye's place more when you have time."

"Huh?" Hongli was taken aback for a moment, then laughed suddenly and said, "I understand what to do, thank you sir for your guidance." As soon as the words fell, he laughed and left the pavilion. Cao Xiandong looked at Hongliyuan The tall figure who went, sighed, and fell into deep thought again...

The Lingering Garden is not actually a garden, it is in fact the current second elder brother’s Baylor Mansion, but Hongyang has not yet got married, so the mansion cannot be called Baylor Mansion. At the age of 16, you have to get married. After the big marriage, you can officially move out of the palace. The elder brother's house is independent. However, because of the promotion of the Ministry of Industry, he often has to go to the office of the Ministry of Industry to be a director. It was inconvenient, so Yinzuo specially rewarded him with a mansion as a shelter. Of course, all the architectural specifications in the mansion were in the style of Baylor Mansion, even school captains, long followers, maids and so on.Because the New Year is approaching, the New Year’s goods sent by Zhuangzi below are piled up everywhere. The Lingering Garden is full of laughter and laughter, and it is very lively. Only the study in the backyard is quiet and there is no sound. Hongyang and Xiao Yao are facing each other silently. While sitting, no one said a word.

"The curtain has opened, is Second Master ready?" Xiao Yao, who had been silent for a long time, spoke first.Hongyang nodded first, then shook his head, but did not answer.

"This is a battle on the edge of a cliff. It's not only the second master, you and eldest brother, but also the Holy One. If you take this step, there will be no turning back. Anyone who wants to retreat will only be defeated in the end." The forward torrent is completely swallowed up." Xiao Yao also ignored Hongyang's movements, and continued talking on his own.

"Well, this one is well known in Ben Baylor's mind. Huang Ama's schemer is big, and no one will be allowed to sing against him. Under the current situation, no one can stop Huang Ama's determination. Whether it will fail or not is hard to predict. Although the big brother is important, but with Sibo, Shi Shilun and other cadres around, the possibility of success is still very high. As for the Ministry of Industry, well, let’s put it this way, Ben Baylor really has no bottom in his heart. .” Hongyang nodded and said.

"That's right, it's not easy for the second master to think of this place." Xiao Yao paused for a moment, and then continued: "It seems extremely complicated to clear debts, share the money into the mu, pay the officials and gentry together, and clean up officials, but it's actually not. Your Majesty From the post office, newspapers, military system reform, and even cutting off Baye and so on, all kinds of preparations have been made for the clean-up of officials. Although there may be some twists and turns, in general, the possibility of success in the rectification of officials is extremely high. Gao, um, the Holy Majesty asked Eldest Brother to work on this matter. In fact, it is not because of the result, but because of Elder Brother's ability to deal with the world. I'm afraid it won't be that easy, sir."

Hongyang nodded calmly, and said with a long breath: "Ama Huang's vision is far beyond my brother's reach. Ben Belle has only taken over the handicraft department for a few months, and has not yet touched the core secrets. It is astonishing. It was not a fluke that Huang Ama made great achievements in the Ministry of Industry back then. It is not just the secret technology of the Ministry of Industry, but also the hundreds of secret laboratories under the name of the Eight Banners firm. It is even more daunting, and it is by no means easy to sort out something that can be effective immediately, and the Eight Banners Company is afraid that it is time to solve it."

"Shanzai said, the second master finally understands the painstaking efforts of the Holy One. Well, from the "Fuyuan Ji" written by the Holy One at the age of five, it can be seen that the Holy One has already planned the future path of the Qing Dynasty. If A certain prediction is not bad, the Holy One intends to establish a country with business, and to open up territories as the foundation of a strong country. Hey, this is a dangerous move. Without the courage of others, I would never dare to take this road, which is why today The reason why the meritorious deeds were outstanding back then but the road to succession was extremely difficult is that the person who can do such a great thing is a sage!" Xiao Yao rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Since the Holy Majesty wants to build a country with business, the Eight Banners company must There is no doubt about making sacrifices, otherwise the family is dominant, and there is no room for others to live, but this matter must be delayed, and how to proceed must be considered in the long term, and cannot be ignored."

"Well, Ben Baylor knows this one well. The difficulty lies in this part. It seems that we have to add one or two considerations to this matter. If it hurts the root, it will not be worth the loss." Hongyang frowned involuntarily. He got up, turned his head to look at the night sky with flying snowflakes outside the window, and fell into deep thought silently...
